"Open wide... The open source community may now have more than ideology on their side, with researchers showing mathematically that their "release early, release often" software development model is the quickest way to bug-free code. ... In a paper <http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0306511> currently being refereed, Damien Challet and Yann Le Du from the University of Oxford characterised open source software as that developed in the bazaar style, and closed source as that created with the cathedral approach. They developed a mathematical model of how bugs, or errors in the software, are detected and resolved for the two types of software development." --------------------------------------------- Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services Pty Limited -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
